NEW SEA TERROR A NEW STYLE OF TORPEDO BOAT, TO BE HANDLED BY TWO MEN, WHO ARE TO JUMP OVER BOARD AT THE LAST AND SEND IT DASHING aGAINST THE ENEMY BOAT TO BE DE- sTDnvpn itspi p NEW YORK, July 15. Surpassing mine, torpedo, submarine and giant projectile in destructive power, it is asserted, a new engine for dealing wholesale death in naval warfare is under construction in miniature in this city. This newest contrivance for the destruction of battleships and cruisers is nothing more nor less than a high-speed torpedo boat, which is itself a torpedo, the bow being filled with high explosives in quantities sufficient to blow the bottom out of the biggest war ship afloat. It is planned that the torpedo boat, in the destruction of hostile craft against which its deadly prow is directed, also shall immolate itself. At no time, -however, can the loss to. the attacking force be greater than two men, and those two will have a fighting chance to escape. When the torpedo boat, which is a torpedo, has dashed to a point near, enough to its steel-clad prey to give assurance that it cannot possibly miss the mark the crew of two brave men will lock the steering gear and, with life belts about them, leap overboard leaving the death-dealing engine of war to rush in alone at a terrific speed and blow itself and the ship of the enemy to fragments. Francis Herreshoff, a nephew of Captain Nat Herreshoff, the celebrated ihiTTder of the defenders of the America's cup, is the inventor of this new annihilator. He contends that by the use of human directing agency up to a point within a few hundred feet of the enemy's ship the uncertainty that attends the use of a torpedo will be done away with and naval warfare will have to be conducted on new lines. The boat will be made of aluminum and built in sections, so several of them may be carried on any large war ship, ready for use in time fo emer gency. It will require only a little while to bolt the sections of one of these destroyers together and send it dashing toward an enemy. The boats will be equipped with electric motors and other mechanical appliances which will give to them a maximum speed between twenty and thirty knots. There will be no smoke to call attention to them. The automobile principle of loco motion will be applied. :o: MILES TO PARKER. ESOPUS, New York, July 15. Judge Parker received a letter today from General Nelson A. Miles. The entire letter is in General Miles' own hand writing and is as follows: "St. Louis, July 10, 1904. "Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y. "Dear Sir: Safety for the good ship -of state is of the first importance. "At a time when a material crisis is pending, when democratic Institutions are in peril, when great evils should be eradicated, when Important political questions must be decided, it is fortunate that the democratic party have given to the country a candidate for President in whom that great council of representative men have every confidence, and we have the best of reasons for believing that that confidence will be confirmed by the Intelligent patri otic people of the country. "We all do know that the instincts and training of the judge are to hold In sacred regard the Constitution and the faithful interpretation and execu tion of the laws. Hence we believe that under your administration its law will be administered with fidelity and integrity. I believe you will be elect ed and thereby have an opportunity of rendering our country a service of Immeasurable value, that will redound to the honor of the democratic party, and the glory of the republic. "I have the honor to remain, very truly yours, "NELSON A. MILES." THE CHICAGO STRIKE. Associated Press, Morning Service. CHICAGO, August 5. The packers claim that 2900 men are now employed.
